When I look something up on YouTube, usually a liberal topic or person, I see conservative propaganda all around it. A completely unrelated clip pops-up in the first few windows, side ads and pre-clip ads. I just saw a pre-clip ad in front of a Trevor Noah clip advertising free online civics classes. They are going to teach the right understanding about civics as intended by our original leaders. I looked up the college and it is a conservative college.
In contrast, I never see liberal ads.
I would assume it will get worse over the next year. The radial RW spends money on this propaganda, why? Because it works.
I wonder why I never see liberal ads?

(6,568 posts)I explained how YouTube/Google ads work, you said you clear your trackers. I said its unlikely that you do.
Unless youre using a VPN and log in to zero websites, you are being tracked.

(7,430 posts)I NEVER respond to ads in either venue. I don't care what kind of tracking is done. I get in and I get out, and I almost never respond to ANY ad. I suppose I'm a marketer's nightmare, but tough shit.
